Meanwhile, combine the sausage meat with the onion, thyme, lemon zest, mustard, and 1 egg yolk, and season with salt and pepper.Step 4
Lay the pastry on a floured surface. Form the sausage mixture into 2 thinly rolled tubes and place in the centre of each piece of pastry. Brush the inside of the pastry with the beaten egg, then roll the pastry over and press to seal. Cut each roll into 12 pieces.Step 5
